Community and Target Aggregate · Describe the population demographic being served by this organization. |
Population Demographic Being Served: Carrfour Supportive Housing exists to work side by side with formerly homeless individuals and families in Miami-Dade County to provide affordable housing solutions integrated with supportive services. The demographic includes all age groups, all races, all creeds, and all special needs, such as those with disabilities or chronic health problems. Carrfour programs provide stability and self-sufficiency for many clients who are transitioning from homelessness (Carrfour Supportive Housing, 2023). |
Social Determinants of Health (SDOHs): · Identify actual and potential SDOHs that impact the demographic served by the nonprofit organization. · Use the following data sources or similar ones to find relevant data and identify SDOHs: 2023 County Health Rankings National Findings Report, CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, and United States Census Bureau QuickFacts. |
Identification of Actual and Potential SDOHs: Economic Stability: Clients are often unemployed or underemployed, and these incomes cannot support paying for housing and healthcare. Education Access and Quality: Lacking educational opportunities can limit job prospects and economic opportunities. Healthcare Access and Quality: Chronic conditions that are unmanaged may result from barriers to accessing healthcare services. Neighborhood and Built Environment: It’s not just about safe and affordable housing, inadequate living conditions can compound health problems. Social and Community Context: It can also affect your mental health and well-being. These factors underscore the need for comprehensive support services along with housing to meet the demands of this population with the multiple needs. |
Topic: · Describe the education topic that will be relevant to provide to your identified nonprofit’s community members. |
Education Topic: Diabetes Prevention and Management. The project emphasizes the importance of balanced diets, meal planning on a budget, and the role of physical activity in preventing chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. |
Rationale of Topic: · Explain the reason for your choice of education topic based on your research. |
Individuals who are homeless or whose housing is unstable are at greater risk for overweight, diabetes and other chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer, in large part because of barriers to nutritious food, healthcare services and safe environments for physical activity. Education on diabetes prevention and management can help residents get empowered and take informed health choices, utilize the existing resources effectively to live a better quality of life (Healthy People 2030, 2023). |
Healthy People 2030 (HP2030) Objectives and Measures: · Discuss whether this topic was listed in the HP2030 Objectives and Measures. · Explain which information on this website may be relevant to assist you with your presentation. |
Discussion: The topic supports the HP2030 objectives, particularly Objective D-01 — lower the number of new cases of diagnosed diabetes within the population. HP2030 is based on community based interventions and education to reduce the risk factors of diabetes, including poor nutrition and physical inactivity. HP2030 resources should help guide the creation of culturally sensitive educational materials and strategies the will meet the particular needs of Carrfour’s residents. |

Benchmark – Community Teaching Project: Part 2
Based on the location of the community site selected in the Topic 1 assignment for your Community Teaching Project, you will be performing an assessment of the community (town/city/county) using the “County Health Rankings” and “Environmental Justice Dashboard” located in the topic Resources.
After reviewing the “County Health Rankings” and “Environmental Justice Dashboard” and completing the windshield survey of the selected community, complete the template below.

Community Description: · Describe the community of interest (town/city/county) based on your findings from the windshield survey, the “County Health Rankings,” and “Environmental Justice Dashboard” resources. |
Miami-Dade County is a dynamic, mixed-culture, and urbanized region. It is a county of urban areas, suburban neighborhoods, and farmlands. The windshield survey highlighted contrasting aspects: upscale developments against economically challenged areas. Miami-Dade County has health disparities, according to data from the County Health Rankings (2023). Although they do relatively well ranking in health care (due to a strong healthcare infrastructure), the county lags in the areas of housing affordability and income inequality. The Environmental Justice Dashboard also showed high levels of air pollution and heat vulnerability in underserved neighborhoods such as Little Havana and Liberty City, which matched socioeconomic and racial disparities. |
Positive Attributes:
· Discuss one positive attribute of this community based on your assessment findings. |
With a robust network of healthcare facilities and community organizations—among them Carrfour Supportive Housing—one of Miami Dade County’s strongest points. They do this tirelessly to work with social determinants of health (SDOH), offering resources like affordable housing, mental health support, and educational initiatives. These collaborations increase community resilience and access to important services in these areas where each individual lacks resources. |
Barriers or Challenges: · Discuss one barrier and/or challenge of this community based on your assessment findings. |
Housing Affordability is a significant barrier in Miami-Dade County. The County Health Rankings report over 20 percent of people experience severe housing cost burdens, worsening health equity. On the other hand, the Environmental Justice Dashboard shows that disadvantaged neighborhoods suffer from poor air quality and the shortage of green spaces. The fact that these factors make you more prone to chronic diseases like asthma and cardiovascular conditions is especially harmful for residents of low-income areas. |
Opportunities:
· Examine one area of opportunity that can be addressed through health promotion and support your recommendations with evidence. |
The community-based program on chronic disease prevention is one key opportunity for health promotion. Initiatives based on evidence to reduce diabetes and obesity, such as nutrition workshops and physical activity programs, can address the causes of health disparities. Findings from the County Health Rankings show that targeted approaches to reducing chronic disease prevalence in high-risk populations can help improve community well-being and consistent partnerships among organizations such as Carrfour Supportive Housing and local health departments. These efforts will further be promoted by collaboration with schools and workplaces to promote healthy habits. |
